| Ballardini only sees Siena |

Palermo boss Davide Ballardini is “trying not to look at the table” despite his side inching towards a Europa Cup place.
The Sicilians are only one point adrift of struggling Roma and travel to Siena on Sunday afternoon, fresh from hammering Cagliari 5-1.
“I am not thinking about the possibility of over-taking Roma,” insisted the Coach.
“I hope the next four games can help us battle for an important objective, but we must take it one test at a time.
“We will be playing a very difficult match against an organised Siena side. We have to step on to the field with the utmost concentration.”
This could be a decisive round for them, as Roma and Cagliari go head-to-head in Sardinia.
“The Sant'Elia is a tough place for anyone to play in, even if the Giallorossi are superior to their opponents,” added Ballardini.
“As for us, I do not expect Siena to be already appeased by securing their safety from relegation.”
Federico Balzaretti has been struggling with injury and so does not make the trip to Tuscany.
Palermo squad: Ujkani, Amelia; Bovo, Cassani, Cossentino, Kjaer, Savini, Morganella; Tedesco, Migliaccio, Liverani, Guana, Bresciano, Simplicio, Nocerino; Cavani, Miccoli, Succi, Hernandez, Mchedlidze
